The U.S. Secret Service has faced backlash after agents allegedly broke into a Massachusetts salon, owned by Alicia Powers, during a campaign event for Vice President Kamala Harris. Powers claims the agents taped over her security cameras and used her bathroom without permission, leaving the premises unlocked and in disarray. Despite the Secret Service's insistence that they would never enter a business without the owner's consent, Powers maintains that she was not contacted beforehand. The incident has raised concerns about the conduct of the Secret Service, especially in light of recent scrutiny following an assassination attempt on former President Trump. While Powers expressed that she would have welcomed the agents had they asked, she now feels violated and disrespected. Local authorities, including the Pittsfield Police Department, have supported Powers in seeking accountability for the agents' actions.
